Christmas Day

What a great time we had this Christmas. Yesterday was our annual Christmas Eve party at my sisters house and we got to tell our family about our baby news!! My family was thrilled, I made my mom read her card out loud and she didn't even finish it when she started to cry!! Ahhh tear fest! I am so glad that we waited to tell everyone. Thank you to my sisters and my brother in law for "keeping their lips zipped" lol. Then we drove to my mother in laws house to tell her and my brother in law. She was so surprised. They are so excited! Then last but not least my grand parents. Well my weto started to cry!! Talk about a tear jerker. I am so blessed. I honestly have the best family ever. I can't wait to share more special moments with the people I love the most. A big thank you to all of my family and friends that supported us through this whole process, we honesly could not have done it without the prayers and encouraging words. You all will never know how much you have truly blessed me and *D*.

Baby Bumps!!

Today I am officially 8 weeks pregnant. Honestly, I cant believe it time has flown by. Tonight I find myself looking through pregnant belly pictures trying to gauge how big I'm supposed to be. Is that creepy? Well for those of you who know me know that I am not a petite person so I was just wondering how big my belly is supposed to look. Let me tell you that looking at all those pictures did not help a bit. There were women who were 6-7 weeks along that looked like they were more 6 or 7 months along. And then there were those who were itty bitty at like 10-12 weeks along who just looked like they had just had a big lunch. I don't care though all I want is to have a healthy pregnancy and to have a beautiful healthy baby in August. I am so excited to tell the family! As far as I know there aren't too many family members that know about the pregnancy but come Friday we will be letting them know. I thought that the Christmas party would be a perfect time to tell. It's been so hard to keep this a "secret" for so long, we just wanted to be able to surprise everyone.




First ob/gyn appointment is set for Monday. : )

7 Week Sonogram!!!!!!!!!

12-17-2010 Today was an amazing day!!! This afternoon *D* and I got to see our baby!!! YaY!!!! The last time that I went to the doctor I had to go by myself but this time the hubby was with me. I was so excited all day to go. This was my last trip out to Frisco- so glad for that. AHHH, then came time for the sonogram. I remembered my camera and had *D* record the sonogram. Honestly words really can't express the joy and the love that I felt. I mean really who wouldn't love the sound of that little beating heart!! It was amazing to see that little baby that the Lord had promised us. Today I think that both of us really thought back on this journey and all we could do it give thanks to God for this little miracle. I can say that all that we went through was worth everything today. So I still have nausea and the pants are fitting just a tad on the snug side but other than that not too much has changed and oh yea still really tired.

Speechless!!

This morning I got up as usual to get ready for work. Turned off the alarm and went to the bathroom *TMI WARNING* and saw that I was bleeding a little. Okay so I start to freak out and pray at the same time. As soon as the doctors office opened I called and let them know what was going on. They checked with the nurse and she wanted me to come in and see her as soon as possible. My appointment was set for 10:00. I laid back down for a minute and told *D* what was going on. *D* being the person that he is just said "honey we have trusted God all along this journey, He will take care of us- don't worry" and said a prayer. Well then I got up and we left the house. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to go with me since it was so last minute. The drive up to the doctors office, which is about an hour away just seemed sooo much longer than usual. I sat in the parking lot and prayed and talked to the baby too, told him/her not to be scaring me and that everything would be a good mom if they just stuck with me. When I got in there they take me back right away and the nurse she is so sweet starts by telling me that sometimes you can't see a heartbeat or see one so soon so if I didn't not to panic. DEEP BREATH and hold. And there it was just as beautiful as I imagined our little baby with its little beating heart!!!! Then I got to hear the heartbeat, I was literally speechless!! Next and last appointment with our RE set for Dec 17th.

Nausea..

Dec 8 2010


This morning started off just not good. First of all I wake up late and I am super sleepy, it feels like I have not gotten any sleep. Second I wake up to find my pants still in the dryer feeling a little damp...uggg! My vitamin is especially disgusting- my body is now finding that swallowing that little pill unbearable so I'm gagging as I'm trying to breathe and not throw up. Also, now brushing the inside of my teeth and tongue makes me gag too. :P blaaahh. So I'm now in a rush and as soon as I have a seat in my car to drive to work. And I get "that feeling"!! So gross!! Thankfully it wasn't too bad but still made me make these horrific sounds of gagging while driving to work...wonder what I looked like from the other cars point of view? Well I get to work and my lovely *T* offers to get me some saltines. They helped but the feeling was still there. The nausea lasted for a good...hmmm... two hours. Maybe that will be all the nausea I will have. Well at lease I can dream right??

I'm SOOOO sleepy

Ok I am sooooooo sleepy. Seems like all I want to do is sleep. I know that I will have to sleep because the baby needs to grow but, seems like I can't even get in the door when all I want to do is curl up in the bed and sleep. Sorry honey, the house is so messy right now but I just can't seem to get through one task before I need a break : D I would take a picture of it but don't want anyone to think I'm a messy person.

Second Blood Test

December 1, 2010






The nurse called me this morning and gave me some really good news. She said that my HSG numbers were going up and were now well over 2000. :) She scheduled my first sonogram for the 14th of this month. Less than two weeks away!! OHHH I can't wait. Haven't had any symptoms yet but they say that they don't usually kick in till about 6 or 7 weeks. Still taking the progesterone shots, I think that I have to keep taking them till I'm about 10 weeks. :( Sore booty!!!

*** The results are in ****

WE'RE PREGNANT!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you JESUS!! You never have failed us!!! Thank you friends and family for ALL of your prayers!!

TEST DAY

This wait is so unbearable! This morning I woke up at about 430 just staring at the ceiling wondering what would be in store for me today. I laid there praying and thinking, asking God to please let there be a miracle. I tossed and turned and never really fell back to sleep. At six *D* and I got up to get ready to leave. We drove there and thankfully *D* kept my mind off of the test with crazy things going on at work. We get in the office and they lead us back to take my blood. I'm thinking that they were going to give us the results right then and there!! So the nurse takes my blood and USUALLY they have to stick me several times but today... she got a vain on the first try!!! Good sign right?? Then she tells us that they have to send the blood work out and that we should have some news by this afternoon!!!! AHHHHHH I can't wait. Please let it be positive!!!

Ahhhhh tomorrow is the BIG day!!!!

November 23, 2010


Happy Anniversary!! Today is *D* and I's anniversary. It's been three years since I married my best friend!! He is such a great husband I can't believe that it's been three years. Well tonight it's dinner and a movie for us. We were supposed to go out this weekend to a drive in movie BUT *D* has to work this weekend...blahh! AND tomorrow is the BIG day. I'm so anxious, I can"t wait till tomorrow!! I pray that we will get the news that we have been waiting for for the past three years and eight months! We know that no matter what happens we will be okay but we REALLY want some good news tomorrow.






In other news, Happy Birthday Brother and congratulations on the baby news. Looks like I'm going to get another nephew! Also Happy Birthday to my father in law... AND thank you Lord for keeping my dad safe this past weekend. He went to the hospital because he didn't feel good and ended up getting some stints put in some clogged arteries in his heart- he's home now resting.






Days till we test- ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!

First Test

Okay so now I know why they tell you not to test before your "official" pregnancy test. Yesterday while I was out with my sister I decided to get a pregnancy test. I had been passing by these pregnancy tests for days and I couldn't help but wonder if it was too soon. Well, per my doctor and most websites they say that you shouldn't really test before because the HSG levels may be off because of all the medication that can still be in your system. You can either get a false positive or a false negative. I just wanted to see what the test would read if i took it. Well I came home and waited for *D* to get home and that test was just burning a hole in the bag that it was in. Deep breath. When he got home we talked a little about it and it was driving us both crazy... so I took it. Well as you can see we did not get the positive that we were expecting BUT we have not lost hope. Some women will have a negative even though they are pregnant so. Now the waiting is even more excruciating!! There is only three more days till the big test.

TWW

Two week wait!! I can honestly say that this has been the longest wait ever. Working has helped keep my mind off the doctors appointment. Oh I just can't wait! Well today we celebrated my brother's birthday happy 25th. *G* and his wife are expecting their very first baby this spring and we are thrilled. His birthday is actually on the 23 which is also *D* and my anniversary- we'll be married for three years. I can't belive that its already been three years, the years have flown by. And the 24th is the TEST!!! We're praying that we can celebrate our anniversary with baby news :D Days till pregnancy test- 4 days

Shots shots and more shots

As part of my medication regimen I have been given the lovely task of taking Progesterone. For those of you who don't know about this medication, it comes in oil first of all. And it's an injectable, yes injectable. *D*, my wonderful hubby has been giving me these shots for the past six night and tonight... oh my it really stung-almost made me cry These shots must be given in the muscle just above where my pant pocket sits/or the upper booty and the needle is 1 1/2 inches long!!!! Here is a picture of that sucker. Days till "official pregnancy test" - 7

Life is definitely been exciting...

11/13/ 2010


At the advice of a very good friend of mine I find myself here at 10:10 pm thinking back on this beautiful journey that the Lord has allowed me and husband to travel on. On Wednesday November 10th 2010, *D* and I walked in to our doctors office in anticipation of what was about to happen, on this day I went in for an embryo transfer!!! One little single embryo patiently waiting on us to arrive :) There was such a mix of emotions. I was nervous, scared and excited all at the same time. Today is the 13th and all I can think about is how this tiny person is growing inside of me. Days till "official pregnancy test"- 11
